Christoph Hitz takes the mid-14th-century concept of the nook—an out-of-the-way corner—and pairs it with the cranny to build a graphic landscape of the past. Using vector-based shapes and a bold, vibrant palette, he creates a still life that functions as a dreamlike architectural fantasy, where humanoid figures seem to emerge from the intersections of color and form.

The piece balances the rigid structure of geometric design with the fluid energy of the Modernist movement. By focusing on the beauty in simplicity, Hitz maps out a visual territory where every crack and crevice becomes a site for dynamic movement, turning a familiar metaphor into a physical space of exploration.
